I'm a big fan of Top Fives, a la Rob Gordon (or Fleming) from High Fidelity. Here are a couple of New Year-themed Top Fives:
Top Five Events for me in 2009 (in no particular order):
1) Christmas in Vegas with one of my best friends! And some great one-on-one time.
2) My NYC rent actually going DOWN (without having to move from my unbelievabley-quiet midtown apartment) at the same time my salary took a similar dive
3) Weekly (okay, near-weekly) brunch with some of the most awesome friends a girl can have (and who are not just Sunday friends, haha)
4) Spending several unexpected days with my sisterchick, her hubby, little boy and the newest on the way, making a somewhat sad occasion of a trip much brighter.
5) Getting to see and hang out with on old for the first time in way too long.
And out with the bad:
1) Discovering I had liver and blood sugar problems from the treatment of other issues.
2) Extra weight gain from said liver problems
3) My brother's stroke, a reminder we're all too fragile
4) Losing a friend who'd finally gotten clean
5) Some unfortunate team shakeups
About Me
- jazz bird
- I'm a jazz musician (vocal), happy wife (yay!) and a non-traditional, slaving student (and loving it). I have a strong background in musical theatre, but most recently spent about a decade working in high tech, though I'm not your typical geek (not saying I'm not a geek, just different). I constantly feel the need for growth and learning new things. I am looking forward to being on both sides of that process as a teacher. I think once someone feels he has achieved perfection is the moment he stops feeling the need to strive for it and, thus, stops learning. I hope to never lose that internal drive. (I'm also the queen of parenthetical statements).
